He really is too busy spinning all around and trying to make excuses to see the genuine criticisms.

His movies just haven't been good in quite a long time and IDK if that "helps" with the current attitude (helps as in only makes it worse) but he seems to have this huge conceit that he's ZOMG AN ARTISTE and Edgy (in sparkletext, of course).

Then again, I don't like his films as I find them predictable and boring but, meh, to each their own.

I really do think this is part of the death knell of his career.

Maybe in a few years, they can "reboot" this movie franchise and cast actual *gasp* Asians that can *gasp* act and make it really good.
